The most (and least) popular Senators

During the second half of 2010 PPP polled on approval ratings for 59 different Senators. Here’s some of the information on how they stack up:

-The average approval rating for a Senator right now is 43% approving to 40% disapproving. That suggests the old adage that voters hate Congress but love their Congressman holds true…to an extent…maybe hate Congress but don’t mind their Congressman is a better way of putting it. At any rate 37 Senators had positive approval numbers in our most recent polls while 22 had negative ones.
